PREFACE

Institutional History

Camden County College’s mission to provide convenient, accessible, affordable, high-quality educational programs to all who may benefit was launched in 1967.

That fall, the first class of Camden County College students took courses at what had had been Mother of the Savior Seminary and is now the Blackwood Campus. Throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, new buildings were constructed to keep pace with growing enrollments and expanding academic offerings. In 2005, the Camden County Freeholders announced an $83 million rebuilding initiative that would affect more than half of the campus facilities and structural amenities. The first phase of this plan included refurbishment of the busiest classroom building, Madison Hall, and construction of the Connector, which links Madison with the Otto R. Mauke Community Center and houses the Center (formerly the Center for Civic Leadership and Responsibility). Subsequent phases have focused on creation of roads, grounds and athletic fields as well as additional demolition, refurbishment and construction, including Kevin G. Halpern Hall for Science and Health Education, which opened to students in 2013. In addition, Taft Hall was converted into a one-stop student services center completed in 2015. The Blackwood Campus offers a traditional collegiate setting with more than 20 buildings on 320 acres and provides the majority of the College’s academic programs.

CCC’s presence in the City of Camden began in 1969, when a diploma-completion program was begun in borrowed space to help students prepare to pass their GED test so they could begin college-level courses on the Blackwood Campus that fall. In 1991, a five-story Camden City Campus building – now called College Hall – provided the College’s first permanent home in the City. The eight-story academic, retail and parking facility known as the Camden Technology Center was added in 2004 as one of the first projects completed under the Camden Municipal Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act. Today, the Camden City Campus focuses on an urban mission to support the economic development of the City of Camden and Camden County through associate degree studies, workforce training, and adult basic education. In 2016, the College was awarded a $5.8 million dollar grant from the NJ State Department of Higher Education to develop a 16,250 square foot Health Careers Education Facility in Camden, NJ. This facility will be part of the Joint Health Science Center being advanced by /Rutgers-Camden and is slated to open in 2019.

Camden County College’s third location opened in 2000 as the result of a partnership between the College, Cherry Hill Township and the William G. Rohrer Charitable Foundation. The William G. Rohrer Center is named to reflect the generosity of the late banker’s endowment and offers core associate degree courses in a technology-rich setting.

CCC’s fourth location is the Regional Emergency Training Center, located at Lakeland, a state- of-the-art, environmentally safe site that serves firefighters, emergency medical technicians and other public safety personnel. The RETC houses the Camden County College Fire Academy and the Camden County College Police Academy and offers classroom and hands- on instruction in the most extensive and contemporary array of credit and certification courses for first responders available.

UPS Earn and Learn Program: Camden County College offers a UPS Earn and Learn program to UPS employees. This program allows UPS employees to receive tuition assistance to attend college while working. The popularity of the program is growing and available to all UPS employees. There were 35 students were enrolled Fall 2018, 32 students in Spring 2019, and 15 students in Summer 2019.

Camden County Transformation Initiative: The College completed a year of a shared services agreement with the County of Camden for the administration of the Camden County Transformation Initiative. The initiative has continued to reveal ways to consolidate programs and departments with the essential purpose of saving taxpayers’ money and student tuition. The College has benefited through various consolidated bids reducing material costs through various bulk purchases such as supplies, utilities, and waste removal.

Utilizing the services of outside facilities maintenance and janitorial management companies, the College has been working to maintain operations of all buildings, including HVAC and boilers. They have been working to improve facilities preventative maintenance plans and have completed a comprehensive assessment of existing building conditions to establish a deficiency list. The list has been prioritized and the College is has been working to implement the recommended corrective work. The list is also being used to generate work orders to repair deficiencies as well as do preventative maintenance work that will reduce the possibility of premature equipment and improve the longevity of systems. Given the use of these service contractors, the College benefits from improved cost effectiveness and quality.

The College has been working to further develop relations with The Camden County Improvement Authority and has recently executed a shared services agreement that provides facilities and construction knowledge and skill. This partnership has been and is continuing to improve facilities and construction management operating structure. As a result, the College has recently hired a new Executive Director of Facilities, Planning and Construction who oversees building maintenance and construction projects, custodial, landscaping and grounds, fleet management, trash and recycling. The new director has been working with the various individuals throughout each department to implement the restructuring process and help them understand the changes needed to stimulate growth, development, and be successful.

Camden County Campus Safety Officers: In May 2012, the Camden County College Department of Public Safety created the Camden County Government Services Division (GSD). The Government Services Division (GSD) has been a huge success. The idea at the inception of GSD was to provide career oriented students employment opportunities as Campus Safety Officers (CSO). These CSOs were placed at various government locations. Each year, the program has grown and currently GSD staff is posted at nineteen (19) sites throughout Camden County. The newest site to GSD is the Boat House, located at Cooper River. This particular site is host to various events from regional boat regattas which bring thousands of people to the area, to weddings and birthday parties for individuals. GSD Staff placed at this site truly get opportunities to hone many 33

Camden County College different aspects needed for a safety professional. Our target staff members are students; however, we also employ professionals from various fields to supplement our staff. By design, many of our staff leave us after a temporary period of employment and move on to begin a career in local law enforcement.

Camden County Park Ambassador Program: Two of the nineteen (19) sites referenced in the above section fall under our very successful Park Ambassador Program. Park Ambassadors operate from April 1st through November 1st. The Ambassadors are tasked with touring the County’s fifteen (15) parks and assisting park visitors with any questions or problems. In addition, they staff county-wide events such as regattas, concerts, athletic events and many other events throughout their season. They can be seen throughout the County driving their marked vehicles, walking in the parks and also on bicycles that are assigned to staff. In addition to the Park Ambassador Program, GSD Staff can be found at the Wiggins Marina in Camden City from April 15th through November 1st. They are assigned during the overnight hours to ensure the integrity of the security protocols in place at the marina. The 2018 Parks Season was introduced with a more robust plan for Park Ambassadors. Larger regional events sponsored by Camden County which were historically staffed by private security are now being served by GSD Staff. The Fourth of July Freedom Festival at Wiggins Park and the XPoNential Music Festival are two such events. These events are multi-faceted bringing musicians, food and other street vendors, fireworks and other attractions to the Camden Waterfront. Camden County Sheriff’s Department and the Camden County Metro Police Department are on foot, vehicle and traffic patrols throughout the events, and GSD Staff, both Park Ambassadors and other personnel from other sites, supplement these law enforcement partners.

The Park Ambassadors have made their presence known throughout the County park system and have been a great assistance to the County and the citizens and visitors who use the facilities. Their services have been requested by local police departments to assist with special events and they perform their duties with professionalism and a strong customer service approach.

Camden County Vehicle Maintenance Shops: Camden County College continues to lead the for County-wide vehicle maintenance. College mechanics are deployed at four (4) garages across the County where they provide servicing of every vehicle owned by the County, including the Camden County Police Department. This program also provides opportunities for students and graduates of the College Automotive Education program.

College Events: Camden County College hosted 1,505 College-wide special events this past year. This number is a significant increase from last year. The College continues to expand its outreach to encompass training seminars and workforce enrichment programs locally and statewide in an effort to service communities. These events included Southern NJ Safety Summit, Jefferson Health Care Summit, Addiction Counseling and Recovering Programs, a variety of Youth Summits, State of NJ Military & Veterans Affairs Summit, Child Services Workshops, Child Care Service Programs, Best of the Class (local high schools), Aging Out Conference, Constituent Fair, Woman Health Conference and NJ Department of Health Conference. The Camden City Campus and Rohrer Center hosted free tax preparation for local residents and community art shows. Once again, the College supported many non-profit organizations and provided to the local community an avenue for training and learning. 34

Cultural Activities: The College provides a variety of cultural and leisure activities, including art shows, theatrical productions, concerts, dance performances and other presentations. These programs aim to enhance the quality of life for County residents. With the assistance of grant funding from sources such as the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, the College has been able to develop programs that span a wide range of topics of interest for the residents of the surrounding community.

During 2018-2019, College-sponsored cultural programming has included: Art Exhibits Theater Music Concerts The Readers’ Theatre Project Poetry Language & Culture Dept. Film Events

The Camden County Cultural and Heritage Commission @ Camden County College: The Camden County Cultural and Heritage Commission merged with Camden County College in 2012. This partnership with the College solidifies its mission to strengthen the county’s cultural assets by building cultural awareness, supporting county cultural groups, providing resources for cultural practitioners, establishing stronger relationships between practitioners and county residents; and by being public advocates for culture, while continuing to develop strong and meaningful partnerships with the communities that we serve.

The College’s long history of cultural programming, access to its marketing and grant-writing departments, as well as its academic resources and modern facilities, provides a natural synergy that will benefit the residents of Camden County and strengthens the Commission’s ability to achieve its goals of awarding state grants, providing technical training to artists and arts organizations, and developing events to showcase and enrich Camden County’s artists, cultural organizations, and communities at large.

Mainstage’s Summer Stage: Through its partnership with Camden County College, Mainstage Center for the Arts, a 501(c)(3) non-profit performing arts organization, hosts year round productions for young people primarily, but also offers programs for adults as well. At Camden County College campus this year, Mainstage's Summer Stage 2019 runs from June to August.

I. MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECTS

I. Major Capital Projects: FY2019

Blackwood Transformation:

• Jefferson Chiller: In April 2019, the College replaced the chiller at Jefferson Hall, one of the oldest buildings on campus, with a more energy-efficient model. This building is leased by Rutgers University and houses many important educational components to their nursing and health care programs. The facility was having some problems with the previous system even though it was not that old. Over the last couple of years, the staff had constant issues with HVAC system. We worked with our partners at Northeast Mechanical and found the most practical and cost-effective solution to these ongoing issues. This new unit is performing much better and staff at Jefferson has been very pleased by the temperature and climate controls that are in place. There have been no concerns or complaints even through the dog days of summer in July.

• Lincoln Hall Renovations: As part of an effort to enhance programming and the overall student experience at Camden County College, we have started the process of upgrading Lincoln Hall. At the beginning of 2019, the College hired an architect, Becica & Associates, to design the project. Subsequently, several meetings were held with faculty, staff and other stakeholders to get input and a better understanding of what improvements would be most needed to get the most out of this over $5 million project. After further discussions, it was decided to do this project in phases to limit any disruptions and continue to have classes there while work is being done. This work will take approximately 18 months to complete. A bid is currently advertised for a general contractor to perform the work. The bids will be received and reviewed in early August. The goal is to have the contractor begin Phase 1 in September. The overall objective is to bring this facility into the 21st century and improve facilities to benefit the student’s educational experience.

• Kevin G. Halpern Hall for Science & Health Education HVAC Upgrades: Halpern Hall is one of the most vital educational facilities on campus. It provides several important health-related programs and critical lab classes to students. Last summer the building had an unfortunate episode where mold was found in approximately six (6) classrooms. Once the problem was identified, appropriate steps were taken to abate the issues. All-Risk was brought in to remediate the mold and clean all the rooms and equipment in the classrooms. Subsequently, the college developed a plan to ensure this would not happen again. These steps included several upgrades to the HVAC system. From September 2018 through July 2019, the following were completed: 1) Replace Exhaust Fan EF-10 VFD Fans; 2) Replace Exhaust Fan EF-11 VFD Fan; 3) Upgrade Roof Top Unit #3; 4) JACE Controls; 5) Software Upgrades to Monitor Humidity; 6) Replace Chiller #2 Compressor; 7) Roof Top Units #4 & #5 CO2 Upgrades; 8) Check and Replace Roof Top Unit Humidity Sensor; and 9) Replace Heat Recovery Wheel Motor VFD; Replace VFD Exhaust Fan #9 and Upgrades to software and performing control upgrades. These projects cost approximately $100,000 to complete. In addition, we are currently working with our HVAC contractor (Northeast) on further upgrades to the dehumidification system within the rooftop units to help solve this problem for the long haul. Over the last year, the facility has been checked daily and has temperature and humidity sensors installed throughout the building so it can be monitored. Plus, 36

Camden County College

industrial dehumidifiers have been placed on the second and third floors to help keep the levels comfortable. Finally, we are in the process of awarding a contract for environmental testing services for the entire college and hope to have a contractor onboard by the end of the summer but once we have a vendor we will start with Halpern.

• College Hall Cafeteria: Over the 2019 spring break, the facilities staff began to renovate the kitchen area at College Hall. They started by removing old equipment and other things that were stored in the room. Then staff upgraded the room with electrical and plumbing work to make sure all the new kitchen equipment could be accommodated. In the final phase, the facilities staff installed new cabinets, countertops, kitchen equipment and other amenities to make this kitchenette fully functional. This area will benefit everyone who uses this facility but most of all will provide an area to prepare, store and have meals available for approximately 100 children who are part of the Gateway to College program offered at the Camden campus. It is now ready to serve the Camden campus community for the fall semester.

• Taft Café: In late 2018, facilities staff was asked to work with Sodexo, the College’s food vendor, to improve food services to students and faculty on the Blackwood campus. It was determined that Taft Hall would be the new café location to better serve the College community and would work well because of the amount of visitors who go in and out of the building. The College facilities staff and Sodexo worked on a design of this café and it was constructed in-house by College personnel. The result is a beautiful dining option in the lobby of Taft Hall. It is the second café on campus and is very similar to Halpern’s White Coat Café and provides a third location to go along with the main dining hall at the Community Center.

• Cherry Hill Bookstore Upgrades: The facilities staff did some minor, but much needed, renovations to the bookstore at the Rohrer Campus. This smaller space was in need of some changes to maximize the area. Included in these repairs was a new door with service windows and better locks to better serve students and personnel who work there. Everyone has been happy with the final product.

• LED Upgrades – Phase II: We have received two proposals from lighting companies for LED upgrades at Roosevelt Hall, Madison, Connector and the Community Center. Our intent is to install new LED DLC-certified fixtures and lamps where designated in these buildings. The new and retrofitted LEDs will reduce energy consumption and lessen the current interior light pollution and humming as emitted from current fixtures. We received initial cost savings of over $60,000 annually within five (5) years of the switch with these upgrades to all four facilities. In addition to the long term savings of making the transfer to this lighting option, these changes should qualify for the NJ Clean Energy Rebates. The proposals are under review and we hope to have a vendor in place sometime in the fall and then develop a plan for installation after the vendor is onboard.

Community Partnerships

• Print Shop Consolidation Project: The College is working closely with the County on merging their print shop operations with the College’s current operation at the Wolverton Library. The project is coming to its final phase and 37

Camden County College

should be done by the end of August. There has been a lot of work leading up to this point. The County procured new equipment. The new area had to be designed for the electrical work to be done and an electrical contractor has been awarded a contract to do the work. In addition, new flooring was put in the new space to accommodate this move. Another important step is getting all the machines from the Camden site to Blackwood. This is currently being handled with the various manufacturers and copier companies. The three copier companies have all been contacted and are getting scheduled for early to mid- August. This coordinated effort will benefit both the college and county by creating efficiencies and cost savings to both parties.

• Veterans Affairs Office Relocation: Another smart partnership with the county involved moving their Veterans Affairs Office to the college on the third floor in the Wolverton Library. The former office location at the Lakeland complex was getting costly to maintain and didn’t have all the needs to provide the best quality service to our Veterans. The new office space is more accommodating and offers a more professional setting to serve our Veterans and is only a few more miles from the other office. The facilities staff helped to facilitate the move and did minor work on the third floor to prepare the office for the staff and its visitors. As a Veteran- friendly educational institution, this new service is a great way to expand what is already offered through Camden County College.

• Joint Health Science Center: The College has been working on the development of a new Joint Health Care facility in collaboration with Rowan University/Rutgers Camden Board of Governors in Camden. They have completed the design and bidding process and the project broke ground earlier in the year 2018. The Center will focus on educating and training the residents of Camden in health care and the proposed programs include surgical technology, certified nurse aide, multi-skilled technician, certified medical assistant, patient care technician and certified medical assistant. The Center is scheduled to open early in September 2019.
